Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

report

From owner reports, verbatim

I discovered a defect that results in heater exhaust gases entering the living & sleeping compartment. The factory-installed heater exhaust duct was routed forward, under the kitchen counter, along the front edge approximately 1 to 2” below the underside surface. At the area, just forward of underside leading edge of the stove ‘drip pan', I discovered a crush and tear in the heater exhaust duct. The stove drip pan drops ~3” below the countertop; thus, the likely cause of the crush and of the tear. Note. It is reasonable to believe and it is more likely than not that: 1) The installation of the stove is the proximate cause of the damage 2) The installation of the duct is typical and compliant with the design data 3) The installation of the duct is typical for the manufacture of other 825 campers 4) The drip pan underside rounded edge partially but not totally sealed the defective opening, resulting in a latent danger 5) The duct will likely degrade and tear/open further over time 6) It is reasonable to believe and is more likely than not that long-term operation may result in Carbon Monoxide Poisoning or Death Consumer believes propane heater exhaust duct might in fact be a heat vent duct. Poor design/workmanship issue.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
